Benjamin sounds old school, I would be interested in your thoughts on Cathie Wood

[@alexk7405]

This book should be a read in high school, along with The Richest Man in Babylon, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, and Rich Dad Poor Dad (and a little off on point, How to Win Friends and Influence People). HOWEVER, it's sad that "money" is considered a four letter word in the compulsory educational "system"

[@ghhgghhhd]

hi! i am a high school student and i am participating in a investment competition. i need your help can you please help me build an investment strategy. please please please help me

[@UpDive8]

I think I read this book like 4 times already, and each time I read it, I still learn something new. Thanks for key lesson refreshers!

[@MrSmashmouth07]

reading this book now and trying my best to get it but its like Chinese how do you stay engage

[@archiestanton2767]

Inflation: Example...1959 Hershey bar at Walgreens, 5 cents; 2021 Hershey bar at Walgreens, $2.29. Also at McDonald's in1961, hamburger, 15 cents, fries, 10 cents, shake, 20 cents. I lived it. I find the older you get, the harder it is to part with your money for things you remember what the old prices were.

[@bighands69]

That means the Hershey bar has grown at a rate of 6.5% per year. SO much for inflation being 2.5%.

[@zgblundell]

Not only that but as inflation increases, those older generations living off fixed income do not get any increases due to inflation and have to choose between food and medication. You cannot rely on the government for anything.

[@ismailadiaby8524]

Absolutely right

[@BeDangerousGroup]

@@bighands69 Yet it has had a better r.o.i than a savings account or most CDs. Lesson: Don't know where to put your money. Buy boxes of Hershey Bars. This may sound like a joke but Mark Cuban has actually said if he weren't a millionaire, he'd stock up on toothpaste and toilet paper because you will need that for the rest of your life and the price will ALWAYS go up!

A 20 oz Coke was $0.75 in 2000, 2023 same Coke is $2-3 depending where you go…

[@JakeBroe]

Solid video topic! I'm also jealous you have the applaud button now. I apparently don't have access to it yet, but everyone should by this summer.

[@Arvabelle]

Yeah it's pretty cool! They've been slowly rolling it out to creators.

[@chaithanyakanni6823]

Appreciate the video! I've recently begun delving into the book, and your content is sure to enhance my comprehension and make the reading experience more enjoyable.

[@RMDareGreatly]

I like this playlist on the books you’ve read and your take on it. Keep it up!

[@sirhamalot8651]

Buffet spoke strongly against diversification. His reasoning is if you have thoroughly researched a company and see that it one of the strongest in the market, why offset any risk by investing in weaker companies as well. The weaker stocks you have diversified into will cut into your highly researched winners meaning smaller profit overall. Diversify only if you do not have the patience or ability to research quality companies.

[@bighands69]

Buffet is not against diversification he is against over use of it for the sake of it. There are people being advised to hold hundreds of positions for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Now the concept of Dollar Cost Averaging which Buffet is not against is a form of diversification that the common small buyer can par take in but it will not yield great results.

[@santiago_n3651]

Who really has the ability to pick winners? And who really has the ability to consistently pick winners (stocks that beat the market) over the long term? I'd say no one does.

[@eversunnyguy]

I bought the book few months ago. It is a big book and takes considerable time (& harder) to read. It is a old book and the fact that it is still relevant shows the power of its ideas. Thanks for the 10 takeaways !

[@bighands69]

The intelligent investor is not a book that you read once. It is a philosophy of investment that allows a person to gain a foundation for investing.

[@isaacjmcknight]

Yeah, book is someone difficult to understand. Especially someone who has a slow mind

[@ArtHoward]

I'm reading this now. I love that he warns you about growth stocks that are "adventurous and glamorous" and usually in the fields of "tech and computers." He's writing this in 1971, but it's just like today!

[@mikatu]

The book was written in 1949, not in 1971... duh!!!!

[@bighands69]

@@mikatu There was different releases of the book and things got added in such as performance of stocks in the 1960s and 1970s.

[@Lazlowinthehouse]

ill buy the book, I have a New Years Resolution of reading a book every month and this looks like my June pick. Thanks!

[@majesticaaa4131]

That’s actually a clever goal! Might try it :)

[@bighands69]

The intelligent investor is not the sort of book that you just read once. You can read it once but you will want to go over it several times. And you will find certain chapters as something you can read infinite times.

[@FBrapidreview]

I invest in stock market and the first book I read is this one. It helped me to get my basics right about stock market investments and built a sustainable investment portfolio. I would recommend it to everyone who is thinking to start stock trading or is a new trader. Thanks for the video

[@MD-xl9df]

@arvabelle saving us the most valuable commodity... time!

[@RickyGomez]

My question is…. Should I buy the book? Like I got into the stock market about 2 weeks ago … pls help 😂 will the book teach me how to control my self how to select stocks and how to invest ??

How can you use DCA and a margin of safety at the same time?

[@rogeralleyne9257]

Great video lesson!!!! Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@KhalidAhmedHanchanmani]

Very nicely explained

[@obaidpayenda9245]

you are a great simple women, make up is for unconfident female. thanks for your 10 key lessons. love your work,

[@Mark-ql5ni]

I've been diving into a bunch of your videos and just want to say all the content is really great! I've watched some multiple times, hope you keep making content. I'm late to investing ::sigh:: but better late than never, your videos have helped me understand a lot! Would be curious which platforms you recommend/use and why you like them. M1 Finance looks cool but I'm going to stick with TD even though they were bought by Schwab I guess. Vanguard's platform for personal investing is archaic. Thanks for all the content and helpful info!!!!

[@financeabcs]

Great points!! Enjoyed watching your video

[@VitalBigras]

Hi, please explain what you mean by a "platform that offers fractional shares" ? 🧐

[@bighands69]

Those platforms allow people to buy part of a share instead of the whole thing. SO say a share is listed at $100 on the stock market you would be able to buy a fraction of that share for example $10 worth. I am not a fan of that approach for various reasons.

[@tipsy09]

One thing a lot of people don’t seem to understand or grasp is that investing is a very personal thing. Your goals are your goals alone and they should be yours alone. If you have an investment and out of nowhere it far exceeds your goals, just get rid of it and be happy. Trying to squeeze out every penny out of a stock that’s grown immensely is silly.

[@Squintillions]

Really nice synthesis of this book. Particularly good is the part on inflation and the money illusion. Yeah, it is tough to read, glad you mention that! I got through the first four chapters and then took a break from it for a while and read some fiction books before going back to it. Really love that idea of trying to buy good companies at a good price, though have to be careful to not wait too long and try to time the market to do it. In that case DCA works well and so easy to do these days.

[@Arvabelle]

Totally agree!

[@nayeliorozco3754]

Will definitely be purchasing this book

[@nerycarrasco3862]

Great video 🙌🏽

[@gilberttorres8]

to summarize the entire book he says "buy from the pessimist and sell to the optimist"

[@rebelol]

great vid and awesome book, thanks!

[@islamicsolution5618]

Do you know about affiliated stock market app or website to buy share or stock

[@sarimsok83]

I thought it was funny when I came across the book at 40% off in the book store (bought it at a discount lol). But seriously though, this is the bible of investing.

[@jagjivansingh1900]

Hy to people reading this comment. I found it very difficult to comprehend the content of this book as it used accounting and economic terms. Can you please suggest me what should be my approach?

[@cricbuzz1123]

Well summed. I know this has been said by our grandfather enough times, but it has hold equally true for me. This changed the way, I used to think about stock market and investing.

[@javiedknowledge280]

Good teaching

[@danbrophy3785]

Just started this book. Your timing was perfect. I struggle with finding information to analyze companies. Do you have recommendations it tips to help me find those sources? TIA. Very happy I found your channel. I’m very comfortable listening to your advice.

[@bighands69]

I would suggest learning accounting as a starting point. Not doing a degree but just doing it to learn the principles. There are plenty of free courses online that the top universities put up. Off the top of my head there is Coursera and Edx that offer free short courses in many topics from finance, law, accounting, computer science and so on. Good accounting skills will enable you to read and understand financial statements and reports that listed companies release. And these skills can teach to how to spot errors and sometimes lies that in reports. Important factors when looking at companies is their debts, revenues, free cash flow, assets, and so on. If I were to list one of the most important factors when looking at a company I would suggest free cash flow as that tells you how much money they have access to quickly.

[@maguilla]

After I read this book 3x all I can say is margin of safety,projections are harmful,risk and reward not always correlated

[@lmc.lezarcus]

I just bought this book.

[@MarkMphonoman]

The inflation problem is coming back big time. Can expect over 5% in 2022. Value investing and dollar cost averaging - YES, for long term investors.

[@roconnor01]

I tried reading it, but I struggled, because I have no background in accountancy.

[@Winter-Bruin]

Great break down of the book, it nice to reference this vid as back check to make sure I am properly understanding the chapters.

[@Arvabelle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

The greatest investing book of all time! Another good book is A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger.

[@TheCityGirl62]

Great video! How do you figure out if the stock is overvalued?

[@ArtHoward]

On Yahoo, if you go to Historical Data, you can see the price history. You can download this as a CSV spreadsheet in Excel and average the prices. Also under Chart there's an option where it will outline the 50 and 200 day moving averages for you.

[@tonton6969]

I started reading it recently. I've already read 1/10th. Hard to read sometimes. Ill keep on reading but some pages are not easy for beginners like me

[@bighands69]

Focus on chapters 4,5,6 and 7. When you do not understand something just search on google.

[@EdgeVest]

Love this book

[@ActionPills]

💊 Investors are categorized as active or enterprising (research-focused) and passive or defensive (long-term portfolio). 💊 Investing protects against inflation, and the book discusses the "money illusion" related to inflation's psychological impact. 💊 Fundamental analysis is crucial, focusing on factors like EPS, P/E ratio, and long-term growth rate. 💊 Value investing aims to find companies trading below their intrinsic value. 💊 Diversification is essential, involving a mix of stocks, bonds, REITs, or funds to avoid putting all investments in one place. 💊 Dollar-cost averaging, investing consistently over time, is recommended to avoid timing the market. 💊 The book introduces the character of Mr. Market as an allegory for emotional swings in the stock market. 💊 Price matters, and overpaying for a good stock can be a poor investment choice. 💊 Margin of safety is crucial, considering intrinsic value and diversification to minimize risk. 💊 Becoming an intelligent investor involves fundamental analysis, seeking safe returns, and minimizing risk.

[@MarkMphonoman]

Have read it several times. Also, referred it to others.

[@gavinomalley7099]

Super cool

[@Colorado_Native]

Every time I save up to buy this book on Amazon the price has gone up. What's a guy to do? Then if I ever get enough money to buy the book, there's no money left to invest. What's a guy to do? Would someone start a gofundme account so I can buy this book? Then there's the book High-Powered Investing for Dummies I really want. Can somebody make reparations to me? I'm desperate! No, these are great books to guide your investment strategies.

Inflation.. spend it now and go into debt because money is worthless in the future. Dollar cost averaging works when you have a fresh cash flow coming in. if you're sitting on a big pile this technique doesn't matter.
